Philosophy

PIQUE is a collaborative design studio dedicated to delivering inventive and meaningful art and architectural projects steeped in the specificity of the program, site and ambitions of the client. Just as the word pique means to stimulate or capture one's attention, our carefully considered designs excite awareness in the observer of the object and environment they are engaging in. Fundamental to our approach to design is a process that is built on thorough analysis of site, systems, actions and intent, which involves rigorous data gathering and mapping of findings to clearly illustrate our understanding of the task at hand and provide a substantive foundation to build on. Working within project parameters, we design systems that highlight and enunciate phenomena that exist in the place.
